The four ways to trade are also a trajectory — most businesses move through them in order. Find where you are today, and see what to focus on now and what takes you to the next stage.
Human to human
Most B2B trade still begins with people — a call, an email, a deal agreed between two companies. You keep selling exactly as you do today; LIXone runs underneath the handshake. Every debtor is insured, every issued invoice becomes liquidity, and every incoming payment is matched automatically.

Human to agent
Moving from human to agent means many of the workflows on your side of the trade are run by agents. Everything your employees know about running the business — workflows, policies, product knowledge — needs to live in a format an agent can read, and the agents need a governed way into your systems.

1Write thorough SOPs
Catalog every workflow an agent will run.
2Set policies & mandates
The limits and mandates your agents run with.
3Describe your products
An advanced product catalog, so the agent can answer any question about the product.
4Let the agent invoice
The agent identifies and insures the buyer autonomously — the e-commerce flow — and creates the invoice.
Agent to agent
The final stage: your side runs fully on agents — and the buyer is an agent too. Guardrails and thorough AML and fraud prevention make sure the buying agent operates within the mandate of its business. Legitimacy policies are created on both supplier and buyer side — and that is what LIXone safeguards.
